Answer:

x=2.5 or x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

factorisation= factors:1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20 (only the positive factors)

We will use the factors 4 and 5.

=(2x-5)(x+4)=0

2x-5=0   || x+4=0

2x=+5      || x=-4

x=2.5  or x=-4

Answer:

x = 5/2, -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 + 3x - 20            

NOTE:  2 * -20 = -40 so we need 2 numbers whose product is - 40 and whose sum is + 3.  These are + 8 and -5, so we write

= 2x^2 + 8x - 5x - 20     Factor by grouping:

= 2x(x + 4) - 5(x + 4)

= (2x - 5)(x + 4)

so x = 5/2, -4 are the roots.

The table represents a linear function.
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Option B is correct.

The slope of the function is, -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is usually represented by the symbol m.

(x_1, y_1) represents the first point whereas (x_2, y_2) represents the second point then the formula of slope is given by:

m= \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2-x_1}

From the table;

Let (x_1, y_1) = ( -4 , -2) and (x_2, y_2) = (-2 , -10)

then,

by definition of slope we have;

m= \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{-10-(-2)}{-2-(-4)}=\frac{-10+2}{-2+4} =\frac{-8}{2} = -4

Therefore, the slope of the function, m = -4

oee [108]

Answer:

log4x+log4(x-6)=2

place under single log using multiplication rule

log4(x(x-6))=2

convert to exponential form:(base(4) raised to log of number(2)=number(x(x-6)

4^2=x(x-6)

16=x^2-6x

x^2-6x-16=0

(x-8)(x+2)=0

x=8

or

x=-2 (reject, x>0)
